Pros

You will meet a lot of solid people here if you can network well and stay out of the politics. There are opportunities to learn new things if you are a productive worker who does not take on more responsibilities in your current role, but instead volunteer for projects in other departments.

Cons

Pay. If you start low, you will not get much higher. Sadly, they are losing a lot of good people because they are failing to keep pace with the cost of living in the Denver metro area. Benefits are expensive, especially if you have kids.

Pros

Nice office. New people are nice.

Cons

No professional development, no training, no management support. If your job requires you gather information from other departments your going to have a rough time, because of all the turnover. Also, management is trying to rectify the company culture, but I doubt it will work as all the replacement is at the lower level positions, and the executives are still the people from New York who put on a show for culture improvement, but don't lead by example.

Pros

They have a ton of money and spend it only on their execs or by continuously buying up the little guys.

Cons

They are a dirty company. Sorry, and I hope this gets posted, but candidates need to know - they are not a normal company, and their management is slime, hence the reason I'm no longer there. Seriously, if you are a millennial, you can find work anywhere. Do not waste one second interviewing with or working for this company.

Thanks for taking the time to share your opinions. It looks like you had quite a negative experience while at Arrow and we hope you've found a fit at another company. We really value our employees and believe they are our greatest asset-- that being said it needs to be a two way relationship of value and respect. Please remember you can always reach out to HR if you feel like something is not right.
